Subject: Revision to Letter AJG-89-031, dated May 19, 1989,
"Consulting Support for Qualification of Welding
Technique for Temperbead Welding on Indian Point Unit 2
Steam Generator Shell"
Dear Steve:
The purpose of this letter report is to document my review of the
results of the subject temperbead welding qualification test
program conducted by Welding Services Incorporated (WSI) for
Consolidated Edison Company. The temperbead qualification was
performed for the Indian point Unit 2 (IP-2) steam generator
shell. The shell material is SA302 Grade B low alloy steel,
designated by the ASME Code as P-3 Group 3 material.' The purpose
of the temperbead qualification was to be prepared to perform a
cavity weld repair to one or more of the IP-2 steam generator
shells using this welding approach, such that an elevated
temperature (11500F) post weld heat treatment would not be
required. ASME Code Case N-432, issued in February, 1986 [1],
provided guidance for the temperbead qualification activity at
WSI. Both weld parameter trial tests (on a thinner plate of
SA302 B material) and procedure qualification tests (on a thicker
plate) were performed in order to select a weld procedure and
then to qualify it. Although a dilemma arose wherein the thicker
plate was not entirely representative in terms of toughness, the
results on the thinner and thicker plates, taken together,
demonstrate that the procedure should be technically acceptable
for use on the 3.5 inch thick steam generator shell at IP-2, as
discussed in the following sections of this report.
Weld Trials
In the technical program undertaken for the qualification, WSI
performed a technical evaluation of eight (8) different automatic
gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) approaches for welding the SA302
B cavity. The welding approaches included a welding technique
which reproduced the Babcock and Wilcox approach which formed the
basis for ASME Code Case N-432 [2], as well as modifications to
that approach to improve the ease of welding in the field.

Regarding Temperbead Welding of
Low Alloy Steel Vessel Materials
Using GTAW
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

Indian Point Unit No. 2
Docket No. 50-247
July, 1989
In anticipation of need, Consolidated Edison has developed a temperbead
weld qualification program for the Indian Point Unit
No. 2 steam
generator shell. The shell material is SA302 Grade B low alloy steel,
designated by the ASME Code as P-3 Group 3 material. The
purpose of the
temperbead qualification was to be prepared to perform
repair to one or more of the IP-2 steam generator shells a cavity weld
using this
welding approach, such that an elevated temperature (llSOOF)
post weld
heat treatment would not be required. ASME Code Case N-432,
issued in
February 1986, provided guidance for the temperbead
qualification
activity. Both weld parameter trial tests (on a thinner
Grade B material) and procedure qualification tests (on plate of SA302
a thicker plate)
were performed in order to select a weld procedure and
then
it. Although a dilemma arose wherein the thicker plate was notto qualify
entirely
representative in terms of toughness, the results on the
thinner and
thicker plates, taken together, demonstrate that the procedure
should be
technically acceptable for use on the 3.5 inch thick
steam generator
shell at IP-2, as discussed below.
The properties of the base metal used in the temperbead
qualification
program did not meet all of the requirements of Code Case
N-432 and the
Code of repair. However, application of these requirements
in this case
is overly restrictive. The plant was constructed to ASME Section III,
1965 with addenda through 1966, a Code which prescribed
less in the way
of toughness requirements for this material than either
the Code of
repair, or Code Case N-432. The intent of Code Case N-432 is to assure
that the weld procedure which is qualified, qualifies

The steam generator shell at IP-2 is significantly thinner,

properties would have been significantly improved. This observation is
substantiated by the weld trial tests in the thinner plate
(2.25 inches
thick), where hardness measurements revealed a softened,
HAZ consistent
with increased toughness for a representative material. ;
The restrictions
of Code Case N-432 required a thicker plate than is to
be welded to in
the field thereby restricting the qualification program to
use of a base
metal which could not be reasonably expected to meet the
notch toughness
requirements in the Code Case. Consequently, while all requirements of

temperbead process is technically qualified for use at
IP-2.
In addition, the ASME Section XI Special Working
Group on Repair by
Welding will formally include the use of automatic GTAW
temperbead in the
code. This will be addressed during the summer 1989 meeting.
Additionally, the ASME has realized that the present
N-432
automatic GTAW temperbead, as it now exists, is unworkable, code case for
specifically
for thick section plate qualification. As a result,
the committee is
recommending the following changes to the weld qualification
requirements:
o The test assembly shall be of the same "P" number
and Group
number as the component being repaired.
o The base metal impact properties shall meet the design
specification.
o The average of the three charpy V-notch HAZ results
shall be
equal or greater than the average of the three base
metal
impact values.
In conclusion, Consolidated Edison believes that the strict
interpretation of Code Case N-432 for this temperbead
Grade B steam generator shell material is clearly repair of SA302
impractical and that
the weld procedure, as prepared, is technically adequate.
Consolidated Edison, therefore, requests relief from the full

requirements of Code Case N-432 such that the weld
procedure already
developed is acceptable and qualified.

Subject: Consulting Support for Qualification of Welding

Technique for Temperbead Welding on Indian Point
Unit 2 Steam Generator Shell
Dear Steve:
The purpose of this letter report is to document my review of the
results of the subject temperbead welding qualification test
program conducted by Welding Services Incorporated (WSI) for
Consolidated Edison Company. The temperbead qualification was
performed for the Indian point Unit 2 (IP-2) steam generator
shell. The shell material is SA302 Grade B low alloy steel,
designated by the ASME Code as P-3 Group 3 material. The purpose
of the temperbead qualification was to be prepared to perform a
cavity weld repair to one or more of the IP-2 steam generator
shells using this welding approach, such that an elevated
temperature (1150 F) post weld heat treatment would not be
required. ASME Code Case N-432, issued in February, 1986 [1],
provided guidance for the temperbead qualification activity at
WSI. Both weld parameter trial tests (on a thinner plate of
SA302 B material).and procedure qualification tests (on a thicker
plate) were performed in order to select a weld procedure and
then to qualify it. Although a dilemma arose wherein the thicker
plate was not entirely representative in terms of toughness, the
results on the thinner and thicker plates, taken together,
demonstrate that the procedure should be technically acceptable
for use on the 3.5 inch thick steam generator shell at IP-2, as
discussed in the following sections of this report.
Weld Trials
In the technical program undertaken for the qualification, WSI
performed a technical evaluation of eight (8) different automatic
gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) approaches for welding the SA302
B cavity. The welding approaches included a welding technique
which reproduced the Babcock and Wilcox approach which formed the
basis for ASME Code Case N-432 [2], as well as modifications to
,-"that approach to improve the ease of welding in the field.
Page 2 May 19, 1989
Following the welding of eight test coupons of SA302 B

using these eight different welding techniques, metallurgicalplate
microhardness measurements were performed on the test coupons and
[3]. The microhardness measurements revealed that three
welding techniques produced a weld heat affected zone of the
(HAZ)
hardness well below Rockwell C hardness 37, an upper
bound
reference hardness used for selecting a welding process
suitable for use in the temperbead procedure qualification. as
These three welding techniques included the Reference 1 approach
and two approaches where the travel speed was adjusted to provide
for greater ease of welding. WSI selected technique P-6, one
of
the two travel speed adjusted welding techniques, for procedure
qualification in accordance with Code Case N-432. The
microhardness results for the P-6 welding approach are presented
in Table 1 [3]. One notes from Table 1 that the maximum hardness
in the HAZ in the technique P-6 plate is Rc 33.5, well below
Rc 37 target value. the
Thus, this procedure appears quite capable
of meeting the HAZ requirements of this representative
base
material.
One additional weld trial was conducted using the P-6
weld
parameters. A single bead weld was.deposited on the SA302 B
plate and the hardness measured in the HAZ of the plate.
This
test would compare the untempered hardness with the tempering
anticipated using the P-6 welding technique. The results of
that
single bead weld are presented in Table 2, ofrom Reference 3.
One
observes from Table 2 that the untempered weld HAZ contains
a
maximum hardness of Rc 49, more than 15 hardness points higher
than the tempered P-6 process HAZ. These results confirmed the
fact that the temperbead process developed using the P-6 welding
technique is representative of a welding process which
should
produce a base metal weld HAZ which is substantially softer
than
an untempered structure. Based upon these results and the ease
of application of this welding process, the P-6 welding approach
was selected as the preferred approach for the temperbead
weld
procedure qualification.
Weld Procedure Qualification
The Weld Procedure Qualification Record [4) specifies welding
a
inch deep groove weld into a 7.125 inch thick plate of SA302 3
material. The material type and minimum thickness of the plate B
and the groove for procedure qualification were specified by
Case N-432 and by Section XI of the ASME Code [5]. Code
The required
tensile, side bend, drop weight and Charpy v-notch specimens
were
removed from the plate following welding and tested at Applied
Technical Services, Inc. The tensile test results and the
bend test results were certified to be acceptable as presentedside
,-the Applied Technical Services, Inc. certified test reports in
[6).
The base metal drop weight specimens produced % --- a

expansion equal to or greater than the unaffected and lateral
base metal at

Summary
Dr. Giannuzzi has been involved in solving materials and corrosion problems for the
nuclear industry since 1969. One of the world's leading authorities on intergranular stress
corrosion cracking of stainless steel in aqueous systems, Dr. Giannuzzi was employed by the
Electric Power Research Institute in the Nuclear Systems and Materials Department for
three and one-half years prior to joining Structural Integrity Associates in 1983. At EPRI,
Dr. Giannuzzi was task leader and principal investigator involved in development and
qualification of all the Boiling Water Reactor IGSCC piping remedies. This activity
included primary responsibility for qualifying and producing material specification for the
alternative materials (Types 316NG and 304NG stainless steels), qualifying the induction
heating stress improvement (IHSI) remedy, qualifying heat sink welding, last pass heat
sink welding and the weld overlay and performing the investigations to determine the
causes of and remedies to IGSCC in Type 304 stainless steel pipe.
In addition to his BWR IGSCC responsibility at EPRI, Dr. Giannuzzi has had the lead
responsibility for investigating the causes of low pressure large steam turbine stress
corrosion cracking in nuclear and fossil steam turbines and has been involved in projects
associated with bolt and fastener reliability, steam and water piping erosion-corrosion and
has been active in projects related to primary and secondary side corrosion of steam
generators. Dr. Giannuzzi has also been the lead project manager responsible for all
-materials related failure analysis activities in the Nuclear Systems and Materials
Department and was a member of.the EPRI Three Mile Island Unit 2 task force.

A. J. Giannuzzi
Prior to his employment at EPRI, Dr. Giannuzzi was employed as a senior consultant at
NUTECH. While at NUTECH, he formed the stress corrosion cracking group and
developed the methodology used to estimate likely locations of IGSCC in stainless steel
piping systems. He also was involved in the earliest investigations involving PWR boric
acid corrosion and assisted in the final formulation of the NRC I-E Bulletin 79-02 which
established criteria for inspection of the boric acid system piping.
From 1972 to 1978, Dr. Giannuzzi worked as a principal development engineer at the
General Electric Company Nuclear .Energy Division. His responsibilities while at GE
involved investigation of alternative materials and processes to alleviate the IGSCC
problem in stainless steel piping. He managed the initial weld residual stress measurement
and analyses activities which lead to the development of the residual stress remedies to
IGSCC.
From 1969 to 1972, Dr. Giannuzzi worked for the Aerojet Nuclear Systems Company
developing materials for use in the nuclear rocket engine (NERVA).
In 1983, Dr. Giannuzzi founded Structural Integrity Associates with Dr. P. C. Riccardella
and Dr. T. L. Gerber. His activities at Structural Integrity have included nuclear plant life
extension studies, temper bead weldinig development on low alloy steels and selecting of
remedies to IGSCC in BWRs.

The maximum temperature and
times at which quenched and tem

known precisely. Design is generally
based upon a factor of the yield
strength at temperature, the tensile
1200 strength at tempelature, the stress
rupture strength at temperature and
the creep strength at temperature.
The temperature at which each

be determined for each material and

that, in the absence of such factors

Attn: Mr. Steve Burkhalter
Subject: Microhardness Testing of Various

Welds Involved
in Temper Bead Pass Welding.
Dear Steve:
At your request we have performed
microhardness surveys
through the HAZ of various weld samples
welded with different parameters that you had
in order to determine
the required technique for proper
temper bead welding
of SA 302 grade A with ER 805-D2
filler metal.
We used a Knoop indenter with a 500
gram load, observed
at 200 x magnification, in locations
A, B, C, and D
as shown in the attached sketch.
In addition we performed microhardness
A, B, and C on P-2 and P-6 single surveys in locations
bead
order to determine the highest hardness weldments in
the HAZ without tempering. produced in
Photomacrographs and photomicrographs

of the areas that
you requested are enclosed.
Respectfully submitted,
William .Jo es III

Relief Request 29
I. Request for Which Relief is Requested
(a) Name: Automatic Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

(GTAW) Temperbead Process
(b) Function: Facilitate repairs involving welding on ASME Section III
Class I Components
(c) ASME Section XI Code Case N-432,
Repair Welding Using Automatic or
Machine Gas Tungsten - Arc Welding
(GTAW) Temperbead technique Section
XI, Division 1.
2. Reference Code Requirements That Have
Been Determined to be Impractical
The Code case weld procedure qualification
required the test material
be of the same specification type,
grade, and class as the material to
be repaired. Indian Point 2 steam generators
requirements of ASME Section III 1965 were built to the
edition including addenda through
summer 1966. The steam generators
were fabricated from ASME Section
III SA 302 Grade B material which has
an impact value requirement of 30
ft-lbs absorbed energy (N-330). The
test specimen also used SA302
Grade B material and met the 1965
code edition of Section III impact
requirement of 30 ft-lbs. However,
the operative Section XI Code
edition is 1980; the corresponding ASME Section
imposes a 50 ft-lb requirement I1 (1980 edition)
from which relief is requested.
Achievement of this impact strength in a
thick test piece is
impractical.
3. Alternative proposal
It is proposed that Automatic Gas

Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
Temperbead Process be accepted on
the premise that the qualification
procedure utilized test material
whose properties correspond to the
original code, ASME Section III, 1965
edition. Furthermore, the test
results verify that the impact strength
of the heat affected zone (HAZ)
of the base metal is enhanced, as
illustrated by the following test
results:
Weld Metal HAZ

(400F) (90°F) Base Metal
(90°F)
Ft-lbs 83 44 32
Lateral exp 65 39 31
Material records on file indicate
that the impact strength of the
material actually used in steam generator
construction corresponded to
values ranging from 55 ft-lbs to
105 ft-lbs. Based on the test
results, any repair using the GTAW
method should result in improved
values.
I
It is understood that the difficulties presented by Code Case N-432 are

acknowledged by ASME personnel and that
a Code change is currently
under way incorporating the current proposed
code modification for
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). The proposed
changes in the code,
as presently stated for SMAW, and as
are to be proposed for GTAW,
include:
o The test assembly shall be of the same P
number and Group number
as the component and will be post weld heat
treated in a manner
which is similar to the component (on the
order of 80% of the heat
treatment time at temperature).
o The Charpy-v-notch impact requirements of
the test assembly shall
meet the following:
- The base metal impact properties shall meet the design
specification.
- The impact properties of the heat affected
zone shall be taken
at or below the lowest service temperature.
- The average of the three charpy-v-notch
heat affected zone
results shall be equal or greater than the
average of the three
base metal test results.
The results of the qualification process for the proposed GTAW in
general meet these requirements.
4. Basis for Requesting Relief

Consolidated Edison has developed a temperbead
program for the Indian Point Unit No. weld qualification
2 steam generator shell. The
shell material is Section III SA302 Grade
B low
by the ASME Code as P-3 Group 3 material.alloy steel, designated
The purpose of the
temperbead qualification is advance preparation
for performing a cavity
weld repair to one or more of the IP-2
steam generator shells using
this welding approach. ASME Code Case N-432,
issued on February 1986,
provided guidance for the temperbead qualification
activity. Both weld
parameter trial tests (on a thinner plate
of section II SA302 Grade B
material) and procedure qualification tests
(on a thicker plate) were
performed in order to select a weld procedure
Although the thicker plate was not entirely and then to qualify it.
representative in terms of
toughness, the results on the thinner
and thicker plates, taken
together, demonstrate that the procedure
is technically acceptable for
use on the 3.5 inch thick steam generator
shell at IP-2.
The properties of the base metal used in
the temperbead qualification
program did not meet all of the requirements
of Code Case N-432 and the
Code of repair. However, application of these requirements
case would be overly restrictive and unnecessary. in this
constructed to ASME Section 111, 1965 with The plant was
addenda through 1966, a Code
which prescribed less in the way of toughness
material than either the Code of repair or requirements for this
Code Case N-432. The intent
of Code Case N-432 is to assure that the weld
procedure is qualified as
a process on representative material which
provides assurance that the
welding process will not degrade the base metal. The HAZ
Charpy-v-notch energy absorbed and lateral
expansion were clearly
greater than those of the unaffected base
metal in this test program.
The 7.125 inch thick SA302B plate used
in this test program is
representative material in that section thickness.
of this material is its poor through thickness One characteristic
hardenability, thereby
resulting in plate which, in this thickness,
toughness in the 1/4t to 3/4t region. In reduced may have poor notch
section thicknesses,
this material is expected to have better toughness.
The steam generator shell at IP-2 is significantly

thick, and has superior Charpy-v-notch impact thinner, 3.5 inches
properties compared to
the test plate, as would be expected for
this grade
the test plate of a more representative thickness, of material. Were
the notch impact properties would have been it is believed that
significantly improved.
This observation is substantiated by the
weld trial tests in the
thinner plate, 2.25 inches thick, where hardness
measurements revealed
a softened HAZ consistent with increased toughness
material. The restrictions of code Case N-432 for a representative
required a thicker plate
than is to be welded to in the field,
thereby restricting the
qualification program to use of a base
metal which could not be
reasonably expected to meet the notch toughness
Code Case. Consequently, while all requirements requirements in the
could not be literally adhered to in this of Code Case N-432
instance, the trial weld
tests and the procedure qualification tests
taken together demonstrate
that the HAZ properties have not been degraded
in the SA302 Grade B
plate and that the temperbead process is technically
qualified for use
at IP-2.
Enclosed are records pertaining to the test plate.
